Mary J. Blige joined the star-studded Hurricane Sandy relief fundraiser Friday night on NBC. The Queen of Hip-Hop Soul delivered a stirring and emotional performance of her empowering song “The Living Proof.”

Mary shared a hopeful message to viewers before beginning, “My prayers go out to everyone who was affected by the hurricane,” she said. “Things are gonna get better, so please just hang in there, be strong, and have faith. And please everybody watching tonight, give something, anything. Every penny counts.”

Along with Christina Aguilera, Bon Jovi, Billy Joel, Sting and Bruce Springsteen, the stars helped raise millions for relief efforts. You can help too by donating to the Red Cross. Watch MJB’s performance below.
